In a Kentucky state Senate seat, it looks like an incumbent, state Sen. Adrienne Southworth, may be unseated by one of her two challengers, both former Navy SEALS. Aaron Reed is at 39 percent, and the other challenger, Ed Gallrein, is at 38 percent, with more than 95 percent of the expected vote reporting, while Southworth is at 22 percent.

Southworth, who represents the district just east of Louisville, was weakened by fights against her own party, largely stemming from her spreading election fraud conspiracy theories. But there's also little ideological daylight between Reed and Gallrein, and one political observer, Teri Carter, wrote that it largely seemed like a competition to wear the biggest cowboy hat. Control of the state Senate isn't at stake because Republicans have a supermajority in the legislature, but battles like this one could make a difference for issues like whether school vouchers can be used to pay for private schools in the state.

… There’s a downballot GOP race worth checking in on as well! In the 131st state House District outside of Augusta, five candidates are running to be the Republican nominee, hoping to replace retiring state Rep. Jodi Lott. Right now, a local construction company owner, Rob Clifton, is in the lead, with 49 percent of the vote, with more than 95 percent of the expected vote in. If he can’t clear the majority threshold, he’ll have to face off against the next highest vote-getter — retired educator Paul Abbott — in a runoff. Clifton lapped the other candidates when it came to fundraising, raising over $100,000. The next highest fundraiser, cigar shop owner Russell Wilder, raised just half that. If Clifton wins the nomination, he’ll be facing off against Democrat Heather White in November, though Republicans have an edge in this district that Trump won by 62 percent in 2022.

After enjoying a lead throughout the night, the writing is on the wall. The Associated Press has called the Georgia state Supreme Court race for incumbent Justice Andrew Pinson, the conservative candidate on the ticket. As we discussed earlier, there were probably a number of reasons why Pinson pulled it off — incumbency, a nonpartisan race, the fact that the court wasn’t up for grabs, and good old-fashioned money — and it’s likely a combination of all these factors that led to his win.

In Kentucky, each county can determine whether to allow alcohol sales, and to what degree. In the 2023 general election, several counties approved the sale of alcohol after having been dry for decades. Tonight, after 3 previous failed attempts, a small southeastern Kentucky county finally voted to approve liquor sales. Cheers, Knott County.

Monica mentioned earlier that anti-abortion candidates in Georgia Republican primaries are doing fairly well, and I can't say I'm surprised. In an April survey by Morning Consult/Bloomberg, 70 percent of Georgia voters said that abortion would be "very important" or "somewhat important" to their vote for U.S. president, a bit less than the 76 percent of swing state voters overall. But when asked which presidential candidate they trust more to handle the issue of abortion, 41 percent said Biden and 37 percent said Trump, a narrower gap than we've seen in national polling that tends to favor Biden.

And of course, in a Republican primary the issue may be even less salient in the state. Just 37 percent of Republican voters in the state told the pollsters that the issue was very important, compared to 61 percent of Democrats and 52 percent of independents.
